Kahlua Pecan Pie

This a family favorite.  You’ll never want regular pecan pie again.

(And please, it’s “puh-con”, not “pee-can”.)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup Kahlua
• 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup pecan halves or pieces
• 1 (9 inch) pie crust, unbaked
• whipped cream, (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, vanilla and flour. Mix well. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in Kahlua, corn syrup, evaporated milk and pecans. Mix well and pour into crust.
3. Bake for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 325 degrees F and bake until firm, about 40 minutes. Refrigerate. If desired, serve with whipped cream.
